Abstract: This invention is related to multi-layer golf balls having an inner cover layer comprising a blend of styrene-block copolymer and trans-polyisoprene, an outer cover layer comprising a polyurethane, a polyurea or a mixture thereof, and a core comprising of thermosetting or thermoplastic materials.

Abstract: A golf ball is provided that has improved aerodynamic efficiency, resulting in increased flight distance for golfers of all swing speeds, and more particularly for golfers possessing very high swing speeds, such as those who can launch the balls at an initial speed greater than 160 miles per hour and more particularly at initial ball speed of about 170 miles per hour or higher. The golf ball of the present invention combines lower dimple count with multiple dimple sizes to provide higher dimple coverage and improved aerodynamic characteristics.

Abstract: The present invention is directed towards an improved golf ball that includes a high-specific gravity central sphere encapsulated in a soft and resilient shell layer. The soft-resilient shell may be formed of polybutadiene rubber. This shell is subsequently wound with thread a wound core, which is then covered. The sphere can be formed of a solid metal or molded of high-specific gravity powder retained in a binding material.

Abstract: The present invention is directed toward golf balls with improved resistance to water permeation. These golf balls comprise cover, core and, optionally, intermediate layers, with at least one of these layers including a polymer blend that provides resistance to water permeation through that layer. The polymer blends that provide the disclosed resistance to water permeation comprise at least one hydrophilic thermoplastic polymer and at least one hydrophobic polymer. Most importantly, the golf balls formed with the polymer blends of the present invention also exhibit essentially unchanged physical and performance characteristics including coefficient of restitution, compression and initial velocity.
